You have a great new website. Now, how can you get everyone to go to it?
Keep in mind your audience - most visitors are going to be prospective and current members of your organization. If there are 200 member families in your local synagogue, don't expect 5000 visits a month. If you're a larger regional or national organization, 5000 visits a month may be easy to reach.

content and to be active on the site. On the other hand, there may be certain
guidelines you want everyone to respect. Naturally, the guidelines may differ,
depending on your hashkafa (religious philosophy or outlook).

You don’t have to write new articles every day to keep a
website interesting. One of the ways you can make sure you always have fresh
content is to display RSS feeds. RSS - sometimes called Really Simple
Syndication or Rich Site Summary - is an XML-based system for collecting
information from blogs, news and current event Web sites, and other Web sites
that update content frequently.
